Are you using suncure resin on the carbon fiber section? Did you layup the carbon as you would the fiberglass..... squeegeeing on the resin and fully saturating it, etc.? Can you think of a method for a cleaner cut line on the border of the carbon? Just picking your brain on the use of carbon fiber....

A freight forwarder like YRC.com will consolidate your shipment with others to fill a container, then ship it to Honolulu, were they break the container open and ship via Young Brothers to the outer islands. I've shipped a southbend lathe and a Bridgeport Mill from NorCal to Kauai for reasonabe amou...

Jim,

I'm living on Kauai now, and I have 3 boards available - all 5'5" carbons - 2 quad fishes and an asym. single fin shaped to go right. Also have room to store boards if that's what you need.

I surfed there around 1979. As I recall there's a left breaking into the channel on the northside. Google Earth has good resolution pics of that area and Wannasurf shows a right. I remember I got a fair amount of reef rash from missing a section and getting sucked over the reef - still got scars on ...

...put a couple of sharks in there, and I'd be right at home...

In regards to the deck getting slippery w/ sunscreen. I've found the answer to that, and at the same time have made a fashion statement. I apply the softest wax to my knees before going out and reapply as needed. Wax on, Wax off.

This news release might be a repost, and it could be old news to some of you, but in Aprils issue of Composites Technology there this a mention of the formation of a new blank manufacturer.

This taken from Sfgate.com (10-19) 15:17 PDT BODEGA BAY -- A 20-year-old woman surfing near Bodega Bay fought off an attacking shark this morning and was hospitalized with wounds to her right leg, authorities said. Megan Halavais of Santa Rosa was surfing at Salmon Creek Beach just north of Bodega ...

Aloha Scott, A lot of talk around the NS about that incident. All the in water photogs I see around here wear helmets, evidently Jon was without one.

Put Laurie and myself down for the NS Gathering. We're going to be in Kauai from 2/1 - 2/9 so that I can surf off some of this winter fat that has mysteriously appeared around my waist, then onto Oahu from 2/10 - 2/18. We're staying at the Turtle Bay Resort . I'll bring a laptop and dig. cam. to upl...

Chris, I'm looking at attending the Gathering in Feb. also, and I'm flexible in my schedule. I plan on bring a 5'5" kneeboard and a 5'4" fiance. 2 weeks is about the length of time also. If we can get a couple of more couples to commit, we could get a big house on the beach. I haven't spen...

I joined the evil side and helped put up a web cam of a popular spot in Humboldt county. When the price of gas went above $2/ gallon the cost of doing the old dawn patrol became a deciding factor in the placement of a surf cam. I surfed there this morning. go to http://68.105.21.130:3398/index.htm y...

I make my own KB's because it would get prohibitively expensive to keep me in boards because they last about a year before they're stressed cracked, water logged, missing a few fins, pressure dinged , etc. I learned to make a board by just doing it, then I bought the Master Glasser DVD from Damascus...
